DC Sports Bog: The Antwaan Randle El Mystery

Redskins Locker Room

Danny Smith or whoever the hell the Special Teams coach is needs to step it up...defense has been decent all season, offense is starting to pick it up, but there have been no outstanding performances by the special teams...not one. Only time they make the news is for messing up.

On the Jim Zorn Show on ESPN980, Zorn just said that it was his decision to put ARE back there. Thom and Kevin asked if Danny Smith agreed with the decision and Zorn said there was no discussion about it.

i'd argue that lorenzo alexander fucking owned on special teams sunday. he deserves some credit for that. but otherwise, i agree completely.

ARE must have pictures of Zorn and Danny Smith partying "Tiger Style" in Vegas. Thats why he gets to keep returning punts. There is no other reasonable explanation for him to keep that job.
I am ready for ARE to make the jump to the broadcasting phase of his life. I was not impressed when the Skins signed him, and he has not produced in accordance with the value of his contract.

The fake PAT and fake punt by Smith were nice plays, and on FG's the team is now 20/23.

hell yeah he did

this is why i would have liked to have aldrige still on the team instead of mason, he has sick speed and if i'm not mistaken has won the best special teams player award in the cfl atleast once if not twice for returns

The punt return blocking might not be great but that doesn't excuse how awful ARE has been. People freak out every time he does something catastrophic like let a ball bounce off of his helmet, but the bigger issue has been his lack of consistent production and explosive plays for going on 4 years. If it turned out he has naked pictures of Dan Snyder it really wouldn't surprise me at this point, because I can't for the life of me figure out how he keeps that job.

DT and Moss are great back there, but it's a big risk to put your starting WRs on return duty.

Why not Malcolm Kelly? He's not involved any other way.

I think that this idea of "big risk" putting our top wideouts out there is bogus.

One, Moss isn't producing enough as a wideout to be worried about that. Second, our offense isn't good enough that we can afford to "protect" anyone. Third, Jackson is Philly's best wideout and arguably a pro-bowler. They don't seem worried about protecting him.

I heard Jason Reid today say Zorn had told him he was going to make a move at PR a couple of weeks or so ago. ARE went in and had a conversation with Zorn which apparently led Zorn to change his mind. According to Reid, reporters are not allowed to see but so much practice, but he talked with DT and he said he's been practicing at returning punts. Zorn has reportedly said there will be changes.
